Chinese Research Vessel Departs for Seamounts in Mariana Trench[May 20, 2019]

Chinese research vessel Science left the eastern city of Qingdao Saturday, on an expedition to the little-known seamounts in the Mariana Trench, the world's deepest natural trench. Researchers will study the topography, hydrology and bioecology of the western Pacific Ocean's typical seamount, said Xu Kuidong, chief scientist of the mission with the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Scientists Discover Residue of Anthropogenic Pollution in World's Deepest Trench[May 20, 2019]

Chinese scientists have discovered the signature of bomb radiocarbon (C14) produced by thermonuclear tests in muscle tissues of shrimp taken from the world's deepest ocean trench. The research result indicates that anthropogenic pollution has reached the deepest place of the ocean via the food chain.
